Clear Thinking ran an experiment seeking to answer the question: Can you experience enlightenment through Sam Harris' meditation app? (Summary findings here.) Interesting study, although I don't think it clears the bar for being scientific. Off the bat, the question answers itself: No. The app's website doesn't mention enlightenment and mindfulness and enlightenment aren't the same thing.
